Three years of daily selfies, strung together into a ninety-second timelapse, to document my hormonal transition.

I am so glad that I started this weird little project three years ago, part of the absolutely wild leap of faith that was starting HRT. I had no idea where I'd end up, but I hoped it would be something I wanted to share.

It’s almost exactly 16 years since a GOP politician mocked spending money on “something called volcano monitoring” in a televised speech.
